🚀 Resurrecting Manta!!! I Need Your Input!

[hql287]

Hi everyone,

It's Hung Le, the creator of Manta, the desktop invoicing app that you used or have been using.

First of all, I want to apologize for taking so long to get back to all of you. 💌
Life happens, and unfortunately, this project has been in hibernation mode 💤 for quite some time now.

But here’s the exciting part: I’m considering resurrecting Manta this year! 🎉✨

I’ve been amazed by the messages and support Manta continues to receive. It’s clear the app resonated with many of you, and that means the world to me. 🌟 Now, I want to make sure bringing it back will truly deliver value to you and others in the community.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Are you still using Manta today?
• If yes, what do you love most about Manta?
• If not, what are you using now? Would you still find value in using Manta today?
• If I were to bring Manta back to life, are there features or improvements you’d like to see?

Your input will play a big role in shaping Manta’s future, so I’d truly appreciate hearing from you.
Feel free to reply to this thread and share your thoughts.

Alternatively, you can send me an email at hi@usemanta.app

Thank you so much for your patience , and continued support. 🙏

- Are you still using Manta today? - Yes - If yes, what do you love most about Manta? - Easy to setup and navigate around the function - If not, what are you using now? Would you still find value in using Manta today? - Its a very good app in fact, it helps startup to ease up the messy process to file the data. - If I were to bring Manta back to life, are there features or improvements you’d like to see? - to include more customization options which including of taxes and perhaps a web version that allow multi users to have same view

Thanks so much for the kind feedback, Darlene @sonalder-darlene! ♥️
It’s so cool to hear that people are still using Manta.

Quick question—would you be up for a quick chat about how you’re using it?
I’m trying to get some real-life input to help plan new features, and it’d be awesome to hear your thoughts!

Hey John @john0630 ,
Since GitHub doesn’t have DMs, could you shoot me a quick email at hi@usemanta.app? 🙏

[sonalder-darlene]

I'll write you up too but to be honest and don't use it as much as I was since I got a new job opportunity I have little to no time with freelance but I have use it a few times last year ^^

[hql287]

@sonalder-darlene Great! Looking forward to your email. ❤
Btw, just noticed you do design, we might even collaborate on this project if you're up for it ;)

[hql287]

@john0630 @sonalder-darlene just a quick reminder, could you drop me a line at hi@usemanta.app so I could get back to you? :)

[sachasmart]

Is this actually happening? I would be interested in a quote option!
